Second Generation (MKII) - May 2014 - Improved materials specs, New design This is a POLY URETHANE, MANUAL CAST kit to prevent melting/warping problem in long extrusions. It is an upgrade kit for the Delrin Plunger. It replaces the existing plunger in Makerbot Replicator 2X. It is not compatible with Replicator 1 Dual. If you are experiencing print failures every time you use a new filament, that is because of the existing plunger on your extruder that cannot adapt to the diameter tolerance of the cheaper filaments. I have had issues even with some of the Makerbot filaments, but this upgrade will solve this issue.   You are buying a Makerbot Delrin Plunger replacement kit/Extruder Upgrade kit as shown in the first image. This is a picture of the actual item you will get(stepper motor/drive gear not included).  This kit includes everything needed to replace the delrin plungers on your Makerbot Replicator 2X with a spring-loaded ball bearing assembly.    This product is assembled and is a revised version of what Makerbot introduce in several aspects:       Manual cast, Poly urethane (PU) (not printed, not injection molded). It has a higher resistance to heat compared to PLA or ABS (up to 120 degrees C). Each unit has been tested separately.      One-piece arm with a stainless steel holder and ball bearing, so no worries about wear of the bearing holder after few hours.  One pice base     An aluminum bushing has been replaced with the 3d printed plastic pivot in the existing products for a maximum durability.   Specification: Base; PU, 80 shore D. Arm; PU, 80 shore D (Extreem rigidity).  Please note that this is a hand made part.
